Designs after Kôrin 1907

"Designs after Kôrin" is a bound volume of designs by Furuya Kōrin (1875-1910) from 1907, now held in the Rijksmuseum. The dark blue cover of the book is starkly contrasted with the paper label that includes a title written in black ink, possibly in Japanese characters. Kōrin's designs were inspired by the works of Ogata Kōrin, a prominent artist in the Edo Period. This volume showcases the revival of interest in traditional Japanese art at the beginning of the 20th century.
